Viberg

How's the shipping on those, Giles?  If it would work out better for you, you could have them mail the boots to me and I'll bring them to NYC next month.  Just a thought…

[Giles]

Thank you.  I think you just read my mind!…...G

[Chris]

No problem.  Besides, it will give me a chance to see their product up close; I've been curious about Beck's for a while.

Too bad you and I aren't the same size.;)

[Seul]

And differ in amount of toes attached…

im having a viberg melt down
i gotta call them on monday and see whats going on

[astrogoji]

i think i drooled a little over these 

[bagley920]

Is that suede or rough out?

[Chris]

Based on the appearance on the inside, I'd guess roughout, and the same leather as is used in the tongue.

They are really good looking boots, aren't they?

[bagley920]

They are beautiful but alas, it's Viberg so I'm sure these aren't available for sale to us

[FurattoHeddo]

Natural cxl rough out is my guess.

[natehate]

theres a description about them on there blog right now

@natehate:

Yeah, thats why I said not available to us. Looks like a special make for Horween

[natehate]

only one way to find out
send them a email

[bagley920]

I've done that with like 4 different pairs. The responses are always the same; we're not making that one anymore, etc.

[Finn666]

isn´t it possible to get them made MTO!…or couldn´t G. setup something similar for ya?...

[bagley920]

No clue. I've been looking for some rough outs but nobody seems to be making them other than custom. WWII impressions was sold out and everything else seems to be unattainable or limited

[MastersOfDeath]

Thanks man, never thought about Buzz

gents, i'm in the market for an engineer boot and thought it might be best to put my question in the viberg thread as I might get some info in comparison.  Really love the Merlot CXL as I'm sure it will age beautifully but would anyone be able to speak on its quality?  Does it come from Horween?  Torn between the Viberg engineer and Wescos in Burgundy.  Anyone able to compare quality?  Both are at right around the same pricepoint
